About Me

This blog is my blissful journal of happiness. It’s about everything I adore and people I love. Thanks for stopping by. If you would like to write me, please feel free to email me: diana.mieczan@hotmail.comHave a jolly good day!

Cheers to the last day in July! What are your plans for the weekend? Lately, I can't get enough of dim sum and pho soup - even in the hot weather, so tonight we are meeting friends for an Asian-food feast. Besides that, tomorrow I'm going for a body art class that is a mix between yoga, meditation and Pilates. Wishing everyone a jolly good next two days and I will see you back here on Monday morning. Fancy going down the internet rabbit hole? Enjoy!

Oh my goodness, this
little story just made my day! A little over a week ago, David and Sarah got
the call that all families who want to adopt wait for. They were told they have
a match and they should pack their bags immediately and catch a plane to Florida
to meet their new baby daughter. They asked Sarah’s best friend, Kristen to
join them to capture the first meeting on film. By Wednesday afternoon this
little cutie was officially theirs…

It’s always fun to see how our
world looks from above, don’t you think? Karolis Janulis travels across Europe and brilliantly snaps birds-eye view photos
whenever he can. His feed is swoonworthy - so if you fancy a dash of travel lust
(from above), have a peek or two:)

Giggle! How about a little mid-week smile to get us through this
week?

I bet we all have an awkward
family vacation photo that we wish could get lost somewhere, don’t we? For me,
those holiday fails are an essential part of my childhood memories. I have
probably a dozen snapshots that used to make me blush, but nowadays they just amuse
me. I've got one where I’m
covered in chickenpox spots while wearing the biggest hair pom-pom the world have
ever seen:)

So when this morning I stumbled
upon this website full of awkward family vacation photos, I knew I had to share. Go on, crack a smile! :)

Holy Moly, this is pure genius! Earlier this month, Brittany
set herself a 50-day rainbow challenge where each day she wears one colour of
the rainbow. Besides dressing herself in fun colours she also snaps a photo of
her outfits against a wall of the same colour and even invites friends to join
her in the fun! She is now on day 22 and going strong. I so want to join in, you? My colour would be
navy blue or deep wine - yours?
P.S: Also, a rainbow cake and a rainbow cloud.
P.P.S: Minimalist take on a work uniform.

Half-up hairdos are huge right now, so here is another
sassy take on them in the form of a beautifully simple knotted crown. I actually
wore this little do last weekend for a friend’s wedding with a navy dress and I got tons of compliments on my hair. It took me probably 3
tries to get it right, but when you get the hang of tying the knots, you’re already
there. Here is the full how to.

Do you suffer from headaches? I get them often so I’m always
on a look-out for natural and new ways to deal with them.

Last month, I
discovered Stephanie’s peppermint and lavender balm that not only smells
amazing but it's also perfect for those annoying headaches. It’s a simple mix of infused
dried herbs, beeswax and olive oil. It takes a while to make, but it’s so worth it - I’ve been using mine on repeat. Here is the recipe if you’re curious.
